Commentary

So that will be all from our coverage of this contest but there's plenty more action coming your way from the ECS Sweden 2023. Do switch tabs and follow our coverage of that contest and plenty more cricketing action from around the globe right here on Sportskeeda. Thank you so much for tuning in as we hope you enjoyed our coverage of this contest. For the moment though, this is the duo of Bidipto Datta and Sooryanarayanan Sesha taking your leave. See you around soon - buh-bye and have a great weekend!

Match Summary: Alby Zalmi beat SIKIF by 117 runs.

Azam Khalil 82* (31) | Kamran Rashid 3/7 (2)
Raja Selvaraj 21 (11) | Amit Panghal 1/14 (1)

From the moment they won the toss and opted to bat first, there was simply nothing that Alby Zalmi could do wrong. Their batters blazed away at will, their bowlers landed the ball in the right areas and their fielders held onto their catches. Once skipper Azam Khalil's unbeaten 82 powered them to a gargantuan total of 200, it was always going to be a huge mountain to climb for SIKIF.

The chase began in the worst possible fashion as Kamran Rashid nipped both openers in the bud in the very first over. Despite the odd boundary coming along thereafter, wickets fell at regular intervals with the asking rate always rising with each passing over. So much so that it crossed the 25-run mark by the end of the three-over powerplay, leaving SIKIF needing a miracle of some kind to even get close to the target.

Whatever followed thereafter was a case of just going through the motions. Raja Selvaraj top-scored with 21 but truth be told, they needed a couple of knocks like what Azam produced for his side. It wasn't to be, however, and the one thing SIKIF managed eventually was avoid being bundled out. They played out their quota of 10 overs but have slumped to a thumping defeat which reflects in the fact that they only just managed to eclipse Azam's own individual score by a mere run.

This result means that Alby Zalmi remain unbeaten in the competition and continue to show just why they are an incredible force to reckon with. As for SIKIF, a defeat of this kind is bound to sap some confidence off them but they have to put it aside and move forward, even as they remain languishing in the lower trenches of the table.

They've avoided being bowled out, but SIKIF have simply been lackadaisical today. A game that saw just one team turn up and dominate from start to finish as Alby Zalmi romp home by 117 runs!

9.6 Mashal Khan to Bilal Ahmad, THAT WILL DO IT! ALBY ZALMY CC GET THER WIN! Short outside off-stump. Bilal decides not to offer a shot at it and leaves it on the back foot.

9.5 Mashal Khan to Bilal Ahmad, full around off-stump. This though is a play and a miss on the back foot that results in a dot ball.

9.4 Mashal Khan to Bilal Ahmad, FOUR RUNS! Full toss outside off-stump. Well timed through the cover region off the front foot for another boundary!

9.3 Mashal Khan to Sarmad Imtiaz, short outside off-stump. Dabbed down to backward point off the back foot for a single.

9.2 Mashal Khan to Sarmad Imtiaz, FOUR MORE! Full outside off-stump. A nice square drive on the up for a boundary towards deep point!

9.1 Mashal Khan to Sarmad Imtiaz, FOUR! Fuller on off-stump. A push off the front foot to the right of backward point for a boundary!

Mashal Khan to bowl the final over of the game.

Last over coming up. It has been a game that SIKIF will want to forget at the earliest given the nightmare they have endured today. And this equation ought to tell you why - SIKIF require 131 runs to win off the last over!

Malik Zafar c Saad Nawaz b Javid Dawoodzai 2 (6b, 0x4, 0x6)

8.2 Javid Dawoodzai to Sarmad Imtiaz, good length ball around off-stump. Pushed down to long-off for another single.

8.1 Javid Dawoodzai to Malik Zafar, good length ball on off-stump. Thumped off the back foot to wide long-off for a single.

Javid Dawoodzai [1.0-0-11-1] is back into the attack.

The possibility of SIKIF being bowled out is still on with Nawaz nipping the two set batters in the bud in the last over. Two more overs to go and Zalmi will be itching to bowl the opposition out here. SIKIF require 134 runs off 12 deliveries at 67.00 RPO.
